epilepsy: a new approach

I found this book extremely informative with a non conventional twist. The combination of the Dr and the patient teaming up to give us a "new approach" to this age old disease is enlightening for those who suffer the challenges of epilepsy. It is certainly worth reading as I feel it will be a great benefit to many. Their suggestions and ideas are very helpful and allow us yet another hopeful aspect to dealing with epilepsy.

Excellent source of information and inspiration

This book is an excellent source of concise, up-to-date information about episepsy and a great source of inspiration for people, who suffer from this disturbing and often times unexplained (as it is in my case) disorder. It really helped me, when I was down and confused about my choices. I still have to make my own decisions, but, at least, after reading this book, I know that I am not alone. Many thanks to the authors!

Epilepsy: A New Approach

The best ever book written about epilepsy and a great guide to controlling seizures without drugs! A must read for anyone with seizures. I know, I've been there and because of this book, I am on my way to a seizure-free life!

Amazing

It is amazing how much information is contained in 272 small pages. From a history of mankind's attitudes and treatments, to the effect on the lives of famous people, from modern terminology, to modern conventional treatments, to methods of achieving control without chemical dependence, to guidelines for documenting experiences. Truly amazing! I hope others will share experiences with me. Wes Johnson w9zxx@aol.com

Treats the whole person not merely the symptoms

This landmark publication allowed me to look at epilepsy as a challenge instead of a tragedy. Using its philosophy, the techniques outlined in it have helped me to change from a victim to someone who has taken control of her life. I have learned to observe myself inside and out and have changed the patterns which trigger seizures in me. After all, as the book points out, "the disorder that causes epilepsy is there all the time, but the seizures are not". This approach treats the whole person, not merely the symptoms of this malady and the book is written simply although the message is profound. I highly recommend this to patients and professionals.
